Yeah it was nothing special, but it does make you realize "oh, this isn't about cute little girls saving the world with the power of love and friendship." Now as for the anime as a whole, yeah it's over-hyped. | ||

Now as for the anime as a whole, yeah it's over-hyped. Episode 3, much like Episode 8 describe two different effects of being a puella magi, and they both tell that effect through Mami and Sayaka's "spotlight". It is fairly apparent in episode 3, because it is so sudden. Mami is portrayed as this "motherly" figure, only to see her "spotlight" in episode 3, which nobody saw coming. Sayaka and Madoka just learned it the hard way, and it triggers their struggle throughout the rest of the show. Episode 3, yeah, is nothing special when watching it sequentially, but it holds an important turning point in the story. The later episodes are much more provocative, like eps 7-10. | ||

Otherwise theres better morbidity out there and certainly better magical girl aswell. It just tries to win by combining the formula's. It was cool for a change. | ||

The most amusing thing about Madoka, is everyone said how unpredictable the show was, but after looking at all the speculation people had about the show when it was airring, pretty much every single plot twist had already been predicted by SOMEONE. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Blood C 12 summary] + Censoring upgrade from white light to blurring of the gore so that you can still see what's happening but in really poor quality. Saya must save sensei by climbing down an esophagus which takes like 10 seconds of crawling for a ~15 foot monster and puncturing its heart. Oh she died anyway. Final boss fight!? Saya almost dies only to suddenly gain her super powers back for no apparent reason and kill him - best 2 seconds of the series. Fumito the mastermind casually walks away with no worries; just as Saya is about to kill him, a bunch of soldiers appear. Class rep jumps in front of the machine guns to "save" Saya. After getting shot roughly 50 times, he somehow manages to express his love for Saya before dying. Random duplicating monster eats entire town via censorship. Soldiers also take part in killing the people via guns and/or running them over (apparently cars can cut people in half, and a gatling gun has the power to make people explode into pools of blood). There is also gathering of people into a giant sack where they are then literally grounded like a blender such that the blood sprays upward like a giant fountain. Saya uses her super powers to kill the main body then makes epic jumps into the air to kill Fumito who's in a helicopter. He pulls out a gun and shoots her in the face. After recovering, she heads off in the distance with a bandage over half her face... Possibly the worst thing I've watched to the end. The things I do for Nana Mizuki...I think if the entire series had been compressed to 2-2.5 episodes, which was doable, and used as an introduction to a real series, it could've worked out well. The overall idea was actually not that bad but its execution couldn't have been worse. At least it had its comedic moments, as unintentional as they were. | ||

Thanks now itll save me some time, I was practically forcing my hand to stop when I was about do dl thelast episode. It tried to give itself a chance in 11, but went back to the shit it was running it seems. This was godlike level of bad. I watch alot of trash shows but this really gave it a new definition. | ||

I didn't really follow it that much / deeply. I kept hearing about the anime (it kept popping up on my anime ddl portal with dozens of comments), and eventually downloaded eps 1-10. Then the earthquake happened. With all the foreshadowing and such, I could see speculation predicting the major "twists" & the ending pretty easily (I wasn't really all that surprised). It wasn't necessarily shocking, but it followed the general order of things. An example is how episode 10 makes perfect sense in its placement, and with Homura's actions throughout the entire anime. It brings it full-circle, with ep 11 basically concluding it. It's good foreshadowing and plot development, if anything. I have no idea what episode 3 speculation was, but I sure didn't expect the Mami thing to happen. It was being foreshadowed a bit in episode 3 itself, with Homura warning Mami (which makes obvious sense in the later episodes). But nothing in episodes 1 and 2 really brought forth the idea of Mami's "spotlight" | ||

I think I saw some OVA shit, but I'm not sure if it was that or the picture drama thing. Either way I hear it's good so I'm going to take her for a spin. There are a lot of picture dramas that add to the story. There are currently only 2 seasons. A season 3 will come out hopefully in Winter '11 and will take place in the CG world, just not in Japan. No OVAs. There are also numerous spin off mangas though, 5 I think? | ||

Its as much "Season 3" as something like the 08th MS Team is "Season 2" of the original Gundam. Everything I've heard about it has implied that it won't be about Lulouch. Sorry. I know that it won't be about Lelouch, but I had no idea what to call it. It wouldn't be a spin-off since it technically is canon, but it's also not a sequel or a prequel. | ||
